He's twelve and AFAIK the 1500 hour rule hasn't helped anyone prevent an accident. The accident wasn't even caused by low experience, it was icing, pilot error and fatigue.

Have to agree. Using fatigue as an excuse to completely mishandle a stall recovery is just not on.
Or if one is actually so tired they don't know that pitching up at low airspeed is a bad idea, then they're not fit for duty and shouldn't have reported.
The fact that the accident shone a light on horrendous duty regs and pay is positive, but hardly the reason for the accident.

Stalling an airplane and having no idea what to do about it is not a cruel fatigue trick.
